Up for consideration is a vintage Neumann Gefell
CMV-563 tube mic body in near mint condition. This mic features
Oliver Archut's circuit mod, which includes replacing
the old, low-grade caps and resistors, and installing a new Oliver
Archut / AMI TAB-Funkenwerk
UM-75 transformer, improving upon the stock Gefell circuit based
on Oliver's schematic,
and using a selected low-noise NOS Telefunken EC92
tube. Here is your chance to get this amazing mic, which is vastly
superior to the stock vintage ones, at basically no extra cost!!!
REVIEW OF OLIVER'S MOD:
"The top end retained the soft,
smooth nature, but improved the sense of space. Upper mids remained
even and clear, but the mids/lower mids (800-200hz) got fuller
but also really cleared up a lot !...this was the biggest change
i heard. The low end stayed rich and warm, but tightened up a
bit. Overall it made things fuller and more natural. I was very
concerned about messing with the sound i already like with the
563's, this was more improvement than change. I am going to mod
both my CMV563s"

SOUND FILES:
Click below for MP3 sound files of the stock mic and the
modded mic. I think the difference is so big that you can easily
hear it from the MP3 files. The signal chain is through a Presonus
ADL 600 mic pre, into a Rosetta 200 A/D converters into Logic.
